Comments for the name Matilde

Matilde is also an Italian name. It was relatively common in the 19th century. In the 20th century it was not much used and usually regarded as an ugly, obsolete name. Today it has become popular again, at least in Northern Italy (it ranks 8th of the most popular names in Bologna in 2004, 9th in Venice, 16th in Milan; 27th in all Italy in 2006). [noted -ed]
